Now then, done a few extract brews from brewuk as they have extract kits with instructions. My question is the amount of priming sugar, I have been doing the usual half teaspoon per pint and the brews are good but the pendle witches brew says it needs an additional 330g of sugar I presume for priming but it's only an 18 litre brew so seems a lot of sugar for priming? So am I right with the half teaspoon per pint or is more needed ?

:hmm: 330g is way too much for priming. I usually go for about 90g if batch priming an ale or 3g if im priming individual bottles. I can only assume that the 330g is intended to be added to the brew as opposed to being used for priming?? :wha:

I don't think the 330g sugar is for priming. I don't have Graham Wheeler's book in front of me but many of his recipes include white sugar in the wort.

End of what? End of mixing or end of fermentation? I assume the former as otherwise it's just the same as adding priming sugar.Pipey said:
